![]() ![]() It is almost like a game to me, and makes the workout more interactive and fun. If it's a descending rep block, DEFINITELY your low rep sets should be heavier). ![]() Once I started making mindful goals to increase my base, to keep track of row PRs and continuously try to beat them, and to challenge myself with weights (make sure that LAST rep is more challenging than the first. ![]() I think it's easy in OTF to fall in to routine: never changing your base, always grabbing the same weights, not pushing yourself on the rower. LOVE this question! I've never been super heavy, so my biggest transformations have come by way of the way I feel in my own skin and body, body composition (I've actually gained weight since doing OTF regularly, but my body fat % has decreased and so has my pant size) and fitness milestones. (Even though in already very very happy with my experience!!!) I guess there's not really a question there other than, have you ever considered this? Free for unlimited members and nominal fee for others? It's something that would take my experience to the next level. I know there are clinics for different things and that if I had a burning question, I could just ask it, but I think it would a really neat benefit if the gyms opened (again, really occasionally, maybe once a month for an hour or two) with a coach present so that we can work on the stuff we want to work on if we don't have the equipment/another membership elsewhere. I feel like I never engage my glutes enough, can you help me with that? Or I just want some time to really work on my rowing form and goof around with stroke speed and power). practice a 2000m row in advance of PPW or just crush some ab dolly work for a while or come in and do a full upper body session) OR chat with the coach about specifics (e.g. ever thought of holding occasional open gym time? Sort of like a coach's office hours? I'd fine a TON of value if once a month, I could come in for an hour and either 1) just focus on something I want to improve on (e.g. I hope that I've inspired at least one of you in some way. I'll check back periodically, so if you have some burning questions that still need answered or have any follow up questions to any of my responses, please feel free to post them or send me a message! I had a great time chatting with all of you. Keep asking, and I promise I'll get to all your questions at some point!!ĮDIT #2 at 10 pm PST/1 am EST: I think I've answered most questions. So.IamA Studio Manager and Coach at Orangetheory Fitness.AMA!ĮDIT at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST: I have to take a short break for dinner. I've learned a lot being in the OTF world (as a member, sales associate, manager, and coach) and feel that I might have a lot of information that will be helpful to some of you! I won’t be going against any of our business policies here in this AMA, so if there’s a question I feel I can’t answer, I’ll let you know.įrom a personal standpoint, I'm doing this AMA because I am a product of our product (you should see my transformation pictures!) and believe with my whole heart that OTF is the BEST workout out there and appropriate for EVERYONE, regardless of age, shape, size, restrictions, or fitness goals. My hope with this AMA is to help address some of the most common questions that I see here and at my studio (What's the science behind the OTF workout? Why am I not getting splat points? How do I become a runner? What if I can't do XYorZ? Why won't OTF announce the type of workout in advance? Why am I not losing weight? and whatever else you can come up with). Hi! I'm a studio manager and coach at an Orangetheory Fitness studio, and I'm here to answer (nearly) all of your questions about all things OTF! A little more about me: I've been with the company for 2 years and have done pretty much every job possible in an OTF studio, including sales associate, studio manager, and coach. ![]()
